Yes, Palamas Taught A ‘Real Distinction’ - Ortho-Paganism Refuted
Palamas Taught A ‘Real Distinction’
Greek “Orthodox” Gregory Palamas Is Not A Saint & He Was Condemned Before Vatican II
Lol show me where Saint Palamas said there is a “real distinction” between essence and energy. Scholastics like Marin Jugie have slapped scholastic labels on the doctrine as if they map on perfectly… he’s been refuted by Pino, David Bradshaw, Christian Kaapes, … Palamites and Scotusts [sic] alike have put this nonsense to rest.

Anyone who has read Palamas on this matter and is not a liar knows that Palamas taught a real distinction between essence and energies. In many different ways Palamas says that one [i.e. the essence] is not the other [i.e. the energies]. He is as emphatic that the essence is not the energies as he is that the Father is not the Son. In fact, he taught that it’s blasphemy to identify them. He taught that the essence is one but the energies are multiple. He also taught that some of the energies begin but the essence does not. Of course there is a real distinction between what has a beginning and what does not. Palamas’ position that some ‘uncreated energies’ have a beginning is rank heresy condemned by all the fathers. Palamism is polytheism, and it is frankly as stupid and heretical as Calvinism (although in a very different way). It definitely denies the simplicity of God and other Christian dogmas. Stop following deluded and heretical false teachers of the Eastern ‘Orthodox’ who will lead you right to Hell.

By the way, you mention Bradshaw. He admits that Palamas taught that some ‘uncreated energies’ begin but he tries to defend it! We discuss that here: https://vaticancatholic.com/gods-eternity-immutability-denied-by-eastern-orthodox-speakers/ He thus denies the basics of the Christian faith. Lastly, Ortho-pagans like you think that adding 'Lol' to your comment bolsters your argument. It doesn't. In your case, it just reveals the weakness of your claims.
